To the WW2AA Community

[mgw]

I want to build for the WW2 Airsoft community again, specifically the WW2AA community.

This me in the flesh, an open book so to speak, or at least as much as the written word on a forum can allow.
With payments for school, the inability to locate almost any jobs here in my region and the financial rug taken out from under me due to the divorce of my parents over this past year I am leaning on this business for my lively hood.

So much is now at stake for me to make money with this that I must succeed and produce the result that is expected of me.
I know that last year I screwed up but in the most sincere way possible that I can say, I have done everything I can to fix to problems of the past and eliminate any potential for problems in the future.

(I did not want to take up space in this post but I posted a formal apology here)

For what has happened I am sorry and I desperately wish for a second chance from this community. I know I will redeem myself this summer with this next batch of customers.
NOT A SINGLE UNFINISHED RIFLE WILL BE SOLD!! I refuse to sell any gun unless I have a finished gun in stock ready for next day shipment when an order is placed.

I am taking out a $4,000 loan to buy parts to build 25 rifles. For me to make enough to pay for school tuition and living expenses for the next year I need to build 25 rifles.

On my web site I have created a reservation page. For anyone who seriously wants to buy a rifle they can reserve one and when it is ready (near the end of the summer) they will be notified that a rifle has been finished and they may place an order now. I will even have pictures of each ready to ship gun on my web site with an associated rifle number to confirm they are in fact finished. I also have a dedicated person to answer e-mails.

I be frank, this is all I have to make a living on now and MUST do things correctly. I learned a big life lesson and threw away a business in the process along with a respected community.

Can I have a link to your website? I'm interested in it.

[CharleyNovember]

This sounds like a very good start Jer. I hope you get some new customers and are able to rebuild your business and rep.

Thank you

Like I said above last year things were not handled correctly and I know that. I have learned from this experience and will not make those mistakes again.

I know that people will see things have been fixed once the first sales of the summer come through and they recive thier rifles.

You know there is a demand, and china is dragging big time, I think there are many who will welcome the chance to get one of your rifles again. All business aside, as a I friend Id like to say welcome back

Welcome back! The WWIIAA comunity needs you. Good luck and God's speed in your making.

I have heard of the Chinese airsoft gun problem and will be replacing the BAR-10 in my projects with the Tokyo Marui VSR-10. It will add $100 to the cost of each gun but to be honest the longevity and quality of a custom built gun that uses VSR-10 internals far outweighs the extra cost in my opinion.

And thank you Gordak, sgttom and Charly November for the warm welcome. To be honest I did not expect it nor probably deserve it.

Welcome back sir. Your new plan seems like a good one, and I hope it works out well.

Now it's just about streamlining the build process.

[gunner]

Well, I'm fairly new here, not sure what happened, but sounds like you're a man about the whole deal. I'm interested, whatcha got?

[Cpl. Hicks]

Good to see you back on here, I hope you didn't end up selling a bunch of your USMC stuff...

[2nd Bat]

The void in WW2 offerings always creates an opportunity and it will be good to see some bolt action springers commercially available I think under the circumstances going with out of stock sales is smart and hope you can make it work and have it make sense.

Sorry about your parents divorce and school challenges. Hold your head up young man and Welcome back.

Hey about the TM VCR-10 change, I see your problem. Another option would be to offer small upgrades with the BAR-10 such as a better 2nd sear, they cost around $20, which seems to be the first thing to go bad.
I think if you plan on not upgrading the TM VSR-10 is a better choice but if your going to upgrade and replace half the parts anyways I'd go with the BAR-10. Hope that's not to off topic.

Sorry for the hatred some people had for you. Glad to see you back, and good luck on your projects

[Sgt_Tom]

Its not really hatred its just being upset when the product you bought isn't being delivered. Not that I can't see Tommygunners position at the time but I can also see the people at the other end of the deal, its tough both ways. Anyways that's the past, no ones perfect and we all make mistakes to learn, I know the future will be brighter for both sides.
